Hi there!

1. I am a consumer, aspiring photographer and tech. enthusiast who likes things to work out of box (OOB), but can troubleshoot when they don't.This blog was started as a labor of love and I started it primarily to edutain (an amalgam of education and entertainment) my readers who seek plain Jane answers to common or uncommon problems with technology used in their day-to-day lives. :) I like reading about new technology and learning about the old ones. Mostly, a lot of my learning comes from trial and error. I would love to get some training at some point in computer science & programming. I am an avid snap-happy photographer and always eager to take a picture of the weirdest things. Feel free to check my photo albums on Flickr or my Smugmug gallery.
2. I run a sister site/blog (Fading Whispers: The Chronicles) which used to be a catch-all for my thoughts, but I decided to separate the tech-y stuff from my personal life. Should you care to have a glimpse of the non-tech side of Jane, head over to my personal blog which has a better introduction anyway. :)
3. My educational background is as follows: B.Sc. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. So, take any advice I give here with a pint of healthy skepticism because I have no formal training in Computer Science. I only speak from my own experience(s) and I understand that there are just as many clueless people out there who can benefit from plain ole' English.
4. That said, I'm always eager to learn new things and the latest bee in my bonnet is trying to learn a programming language and photography.

6. PS: Support my dreams by donating towards my Dreamhost hosting fees or buying a gizmo from my Amazon wishlist. :)

In line with the recent FTC disclosures required, I currently haven't received 'mad scrilla' for any posts on Janetalkstech.com.
